Oversize Scarf as a Vest

This oversize YSL scarf was one of the very first designer pieces I received from Savvy Mom. It was a high school graduation gift. I think I just dated myself uh.... Anyhoo, I really love the print but do not wear it often because wearing it as a shawl just does not appeal to me at all. The other day, gal pal suggested a large scarf can be a very stylish vest. So.... for a party the other night, I decided to try this look. I folded the scarf into a large triangle and secured with a black belt. I thought this Versace belt with gold studs is a good contrast to the print. It is indeed quite casual chic with a pair of jeans. I got lots of compliments at the party. No one ever commented on the scarf when I wore it as a shawl. How else do you wear a oversize scarf??

It was relatively comfortable. I had to adjust it one or twice over about 3 hour period. It was not bad at all. It is like a shirt that pulls out of jeans or bottom after a while. Slightly adjust, no biggie.
